Lebanese people love to be exceptional, here are 9 quintessentially main character moments we’ve witnessed in Lebanon.
1. When people run topless on the Corniche
They want every droplet of sweat on their chest to reflect under the sun and blind you.
2. When someone is Instagram influencing at a restaurant
If you’re lucky, you’ll see them arguing with their date because they started eating before they finished the food shoot.
3. When Lebanese self-proclaimed political experts have something very important to say
EVERYONE LOOK AT ME NOW! LOOK AT ME! ARE YOU LOOKING AT ME?
4. When they read books at a local cafe
You’re reading a manifesto of sorts at Cafe Younes, that’s so mysterious and interesting.

The mortal enemy of the cafe reader, usually found in an extravagant outfit at your nearest business school.
6. When they mysteriously look around around at the club
The night version of the uni star, this character is convinced every single person in AHM is in love with them or finds them intriguing.

I need to tell you what he said to me! Can you believe she would do that?! They’re really dating just to generate their own gossip.
8. While at a doctor’s waiting room
